She's wierd like that....

I find the way boys relate to girls oh, so amusing...... take my 9 year old's observation, for instance....

As I was reading Jane Eyre he asked what I was reading, and I told him. He rolled his eyes and said "A girl in my class is reading that". My jealous parent side (what? what 9 year old girl is smart enough to understand this book...further more, making her parents better than I am) flashed into gear as I read to him an excerpt full of lengthy words and long descriptions and said..."are you sure she's reading THAT!!!!????"

He started laughing, "Yes mom," he said, "She is reading THAT. She's loves that kind of weird stuff......." pause....."She even plays the cello!"

Okay....that explains it, then, if shes plays the cello. Meanwhile, at my house, that same child is home "SICK" (quotations are the key here) watching Full House re-runs.

Oh yeah.....I am the worst mom ever.

I am also extremely superficial. I can't stand the cover of my book (pictured above) so I covered it with cute paper and stamped the title on it. Who wants to read a classic with a strange face on the cover? It kind of looks like Uma Thruman with constipation, and I just can't look at that every time I pick it up!!

If that girl continues to read books like Jane Eyre, she's going to look like the girl on the cover of the book by the time she's in Junior High (SICK!) Those parents should be SHOT.BTW. I've made a firm decision to skip the get together Friday. We need to talk more....I'll call you.

Hmm... well I'm sure that girl doesn't understand anything she's reading. So rest easy at night knowing some 9 year old girl is TRYING to act smart. Geez.

Oh, but if it makes you feel any better, I have never read that book. Never plan on it and never will. I am also planning on never reading any of the Jane Austen books. If I was interested in death by boredom I would take up crocheting.

Self Esteem Boosters in my Lowly Online Life

Welcome

I am a mom of 3 boys who loves vintage style, but is not quite sure how to use it in my life, art, and world. I love to read, run, and cook- though out of these three things I can only say I am good at one of them...(guess?)

I am anxious to learn about life, home, photography, art, occasional politics, and other fine things in life as I journal my journey on my blog.

Please leave a comment, I love knowing who has stopped by! Share my journey by following~such a kind gesture!
